    Can sudden loud sound from internal laptop speakers damage other parts


    As the title say's, my inquiry is can a sudden mega loud burst of sound from my laptop damage other components in my machine. Thing's like that of my motherboard, cpu, hard drives, gpu, etc? I had been watching a video on Youtube yesterday without my earbuds plugged in, with speaker levels at 100%

    And for a second or so, said video caused audio to explode from my speakers and subwoofer.

    Sound was from this video, between the 1st and third second mark;

    [Wii] Fullmetal Alchemist Prince of the Dawn Part 1 (English Sub) - YouTube

    Be careful with this, the voice from splash screen is exceedingly loud.

    I'd also be wary of the intro as-well, didn't make it that part thankfully, but just a heads up for the sake of caution nonetheless.

    Thanks, that does put me somewhat at ease. And you're certain, that it couldn't have damaged my CPU, or GPU at-least? If the speaker's, hard drive's, or the motherboard even is in anyway harmed, I can probably get someone to repair those easily, but if it's the two specific aforementioned thing's...

    Then I suppose I'll have to prepare for the worst.

    In your mixer, go to "Enhancements" and try to enable "Loudness Equalization".

    It will prevent loud sound burst and also make dialog easier to listen in videos. I use it nearly all the time.

    very good, to not to disturb peoples around and make general sound level more even.

    Well, it's not people I'm worried about. It was the issue of me not being careful and nearly damaging(?) my laptop because of it. See, it use's a set of internalized speaker's and a subwoofer that are of unexpectedly high quality, even at 30% percent they can produce a strong, clear sound with an excellent bass that I can feel through the rumble of through my desk.

    But, I happened to be watching some anime that day with dual audio and my earbud's wearing out as they were couldn't produce adequate sound level while playing the English dub, even with my speaker's I had to use over 50% to get good level volume.

    Later on a topic had caught my eye, which being the video I linked. For whatever reason I had my audio set to 100 at the time, and when the video started it hit me like a shotgun blast, swear I could hear my ear's ring ever so slightly for a few second's. Imagine, if 30 percent could already create relatively strong vibration's within my machine, I'd be worried what 100 could do with that 3 second clip in the beginning.

    So that's my concern, whether or not permanent damage could've accrued throughout my system from power draw via amplification, or that the sound could've shaken someting(s) loose, or even cracked them from force.

    A google search tells me the latter scenario is more or less impossible, but the former...

    Agree about the computer but caution about the ears.

    No kidding, but what do mean "about the computer?" That it can't be damaged, or it can with its cpu, gpu and so on?

    That was just agreeing with previous posts, no point in me duplicating them.

    Ahh, sorry about the confusion then. I'm just paranoid and on edge with what's happened so far.

    I had also neglected to mention my cooling pad failed on the same day, not sure if this event could've affected peripheral's as-well.
